Budget: 82 Crore All inclusive

On its First Sunday Brothers  went down by 26% as compared to its first saturday which was a big national holiday but despite this first weekend is second highest first weekend of 2015 as well as the biggest first weekend in the career of Akshay Kumar and Siddharth Malhotra.

Usually after a national holiday movie does drop but only problem is that this was a Sunday which is also a holiday.

Records:

First Weekend box office collections are 2nd Highest of 2015 behind only Bajrangi Bhaijaan and ahead of ABCD 2, Gabbar is Back and Baby

First Weekend is the biggest ever weekend for Akshay Kumar ahead of rowdy rathore which had collected 46.04 Crore.

First Weekend is the biggest ever weekend for Siddharth Malhotra ahead of Ek Villain  which had collected 49.28 Crore.

On its day 2 it was the first time ever that either of Akshay Kumar or Siddharth Malhotra's movie collected more than 20 crore in a day.

Trade Expectations:

With its high cost and National Holiday release it was expected that Brothers should match singham Returns of 2015 which had a 76 crore + opening weekend when releasing in the same period but it failed to do that. 

This has come as bit of a disappointment to trade which had put Brothers on course to do a minimum of 60 crores in its first weekend and the total is around 9-10 crores less.

Daywise Breakup:

Day 1:
15.2 Crore ( Producer Figure) as shared by Fox Star.
13.68 Crore ( Trade Figure)

Day 2:
21.43 Crore ( Producer Figure) as shared by Fox Star.

21.26 Crore ( Trade Figure)

Brothers Screens:
3850 out of which 3400 Pan India + 450 overseas


Brothers Budget :
82 Crores Total  out of which production Cost: 65 Crores and prints and Advertising Cost 17 Crore.

Brothers is the most expensive movie for Akshay Kumar as the budget is more than both Baby and Gabbar is Back.

Akshay Kumar's current salary is estimated to be in the range of 25 Crores and is part of total budget.

Brothers Economics: (Profit and Loss Analysis):

Producers of Brothers are already safe and have made pre release profit by selling off satellite rights  and music for 42 Crores and Distribution Rights for 55 Crores.

Pre release Profit for Producers:   15 Crores

India and overseas rights for brothers have been sold to Fox Star at 55 Crores.

Fox Star  would need to recover this purely from Theatrical Business in india and overseas to have a recovery.
